Tasting Notes

straw
air Nose
indisputably very Rosebank at first nosing, with lots of citrus fruits (lemons but also oranges and tangerines). What’s unusual is that there are also lots of other tropical fruits (mangos and passion) and hints of peat. Gets quite minty, slightly camphory and resinous (pine needles, moss, fern) and also a little maritime (sea breeze). This is truly beautiful but, err… excuse me but it smells like an old Bowmore!
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, more citrusy this time but still a little old-Bowmore-ish. Lots of grapefruit and tinned pineapple, citron, green tea, green apples, a little kiwi… Lemon drops, dry white wine (high-end Sauvignon)… It seems that there’s still a little peat in the background, even if less than on the nose. Gets more candied with time but always very pure and clean. Excellent
timer Finish
quite long, on lemon marmalade, mangos and, yes, a little salt. Well, wasn’t it an ex-Bowmore cask? A great, great dram in any case: 90 points. Rosebank 20 yo 1981/2002 (62.3%, Rare Malts)
